- Fresh strawberries, washed, dried, de‑stemmed, and diced into ¼‑inch pieces
- Fresh blueberries, washed and dried
- Plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened and unflavored; nonfat or low‑fat if needed for your dog’s diet)
You’ll also need silicone molds or an ice cube tray that’s safe for the freezer. Bone or paw‑shaped molds are fun, but any small cavity works.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep the berries
- Rinse the strawberries and blueberries well, then pat them dry with a clean towel.
- Remove the green tops from the strawberries and cut out any tough white cores. Dice the strawberries into small ¼‑inch pieces so they freeze and bite easily. Keep the blueberries whole if they are small; larger ones can be halved.
Fill the molds
- Place your silicone molds or ice cube tray on a flat baking sheet for easy transfer to the freezer.
- Add a small amount of diced strawberries and blueberries to the bottom of each cavity, filling it about one‑third to halfway with fruit. This ensures each treat has a mix of berries.
Add the yogurt
- Spoon plain Greek yogurt over the berries in each mold, filling to the top.
- Use the back of the spoon or a small offset spatula to smooth the surface and help the yogurt settle around the fruit. Gently tap the tray on the counter to remove any trapped air bubbles.
Freeze and unmold
- Transfer the tray to the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the treats are completely solid.
- Once frozen, pop the treats out of the silicone molds. If using a rigid ice cube tray, let it sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes so the treats release more easily.
- Place the unmolded treats in a freezer‑safe container or bag and keep them frozen until you’re ready to serve.
